Crypto ETPs Shed About $1.07B, Ending Six-Week Inflow Run as Bitcoin Funds Lead Withdrawals
Crypto exchange-traded products saw roughly $1.07 billion in outflows last week, ending a six‑week inflow streak [2][3].
Crypto exchange-traded products recorded approximately $1.07 billion in net outflows last week, snapping a six‑week run of inflows, according to CoinShares and corroborating industry reports [1] [2] [3].
Bitcoin investment products bore the largest share of withdrawals: CoinShares and Coindoo reported about $982 million of Bitcoin outflows, while some outlets put Bitcoin ETF outflows closer to $1.039 billion. Ethereum funds also posted outflows in the low hundreds of millions (reported between $249 million and $255 million), with small discrepancies between trackers [1] [3] [4].
Despite the broader risk‑off move, select altcoin products attracted inflows — CoinShares highlighted fresh demand for Solana and XRP, and other coverage noted accelerating XRP interest even as major Bitcoin ETF providers recorded net selling [1] [4] [5].
The week’s outflows marked the first negative week in seven and one of the larger weekly net redemptions of 2026, according to industry tallies [3] [1].
